Sports Outlook Positive at LHU
Both the men ' s and women ' s basketball teams are coming off appearances in the PSAC playoffs , and the women are returning the bulk of the players that put them there . Go to NCAA . com for a shock - the women ' s team has been named one of the 13 teams to watch NATIONWIDE in Division 2 , mostly because of their amazing turnaround last season - from an 11 win , 17 loss team in 2022 , to a 29 - 4 team in 2023 . Their top five players return - watch out for them ! The men ' s team is guard-heavy and seems to lack height , but Coach Mike Nestor will excel with what he has - this team will be competitive . This year ' s football team is in the midst of a more difficult schedule than this past season , but their improvement cannot be denied . With over 25 players transferring in for the chance to play for Coach Dan Mulrooney , it has taken time for them to meld into a team . The result ? Just about every game has gone down to the wire , and opponents that have looked at LHU as an easy win for the last 25 years are now forced to fight hard to get a win . Mulrooney is a spark plug , who is able to bring the best out of the athletes he coaches . Last year ' s surprise record ( 5 wins in a season for the first time in a generation ) has students and alumni smiling and looking forward to each game . The Lock Haven University Bald Eagles are on the way up , and it ' s a beautiful thing to experience .
-- More Football News -- Delivered : Guardian Helmet Caps for the Jersey Shore High School Football Team
Bear Country Radio had the pleasure of gifting Guardian Helmet Caps to the Jersey Shore High School football team in October , fulfilling our promise to help provide more protection for them on the field .
Throughout the spring and fall , Bear Radio asked for contributions to help provide the team with the protective gear . Our Go Fund Me campaign , Play Hard - Stay Safe , saw contributions from dozens of people that cared enough to help us reach our goal .
The caps are now recommended for all ages to absorb some of the impact from helmet to helmet hits . Some NFL statistics prove that the Guardian Helmet Caps can cut concussions up to 52 percent . The NFL , NCAA , and our statewide PIAA now recommend their use , not only in practice , but in actual games .
We are pleased to be able to provide this level of safety to the Bulldogs , and are continuing our fundraising campaign to help protect more players in the Jersey Shore Middle School , as well as other area teams . Our drive continues , so if you ' d like to contribute between now and next season , you can use your phone , tablet , or computer - log on to : Go Fund Me - search " Play Hard - Stay Safe ."

Thank you for your generosity - and for caring ! The Bear , as well as the players and coaches , are very grateful .
